- High Court
The plaintiff succeeded in establishing the defendant acted inappropriately and should be removed from his roles, so she is entitled to costs under r 14.2(1)(a); however because the plaintiff failed on the contention that Mrs John lacked capacity and significant resources were expended on that issue, the scheduled costs award is reduced by 20%, with disbursements allowed in full, and costs to be calculated or fixed by the Registrar if necessary.
